This is a powerful and inspiring piece. Thanks, Richard. The call to artisanship is strong. Just one note: as I understand it (from reading Stuart Russell's brilliant book 'Human Compatible') we're still quite a way off AGI. But ChatGPT is already remarkable. And that genie is out of the bottle.

Thanks Angus- the feedback is so valuable when we’re all fumbling our way into the future, no matter what mask we wear.

I agree on AGI, although I can’t help thinking there is as much damage being done by uninformed early adoption of AI as “magic Bullet” as there is our fear of it. We need messy, uncertain, humble conversations that acknowledge our uncertainty.

That’s what I’m hoping to grow here. Thanks for watering it :-)

Have a great weekend.
